10.0.9 memory-based locking with APCu but warning still present

Hello,
On a debian 9.5 (PHP 7) I’ve installed apt-get install php-apcu and enable it (I can see version 5.1.8 is enable in phpinfo). I’ve add ‘memcache.local’ => ‘\OC\Memcache\APCu’, to config.php, but I’m still getting the warning :
Transactional file locking should be configured to use memory-based locking, not the default slow database-based locking. See the documentation :arrow_upper_right: for more information.

I’ve google a lot but still can’t understand why I still get this warning.

Any advice ?

Thx a lot!

Steps to reproduce

apt-get install php-apcu

add ‘memcache.local’ => ‘\OC\Memcache\APCu’, to config.php

Refresh admin page

Expected behaviour

Warning about memory-based locking should disappear

Actual behaviour

Warning about memory-based locking is still present

Are you using external storage, if yes which one: local/smb/sftp/… No

**Are you using encryption:**no

Are you using an external user-backend, if yes which one: No

You have to enable file locking.

What you have done is enable memory cache.

File locking is enabled with this line:

'filelocking.enabled' => true,

Hello Dimitry,
Thx for your answer.
I’ve tried to add ‘filelocking.enabled’ => true, to my config.php, but warning is still present.

have you tried reloading the apache server? This might be a caching warning message what you currently see.

Hey,

additionally to the php-apcu i’m also seeing a php-apcu-bc extension on Debian. Maybe this needs to be installed / enabled as well?

Hello,
Yes, I’ve tried with a restart from apache. I finally solved the problem by using redis.

Thx for your answers anyway.

Ah, yes. From what i know “memcache.local” is something completely different to the “Transactional file locking”. You might want to have a look at the documentation of ownCloud which seems to explain that “memcache.locking” and redis needs to be used:
